"I strongly supported the directive on establishing a single European railway area (recast). Unfortunately, however, the vote on the derogation for the Polish Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa line (LHS) was not in favour. The LHS is a 400-kilometre long broad-gauge railway from the terminal in Sławkow in the Upper Silesian Basin to the Polish-Ukrainian border. Having a gauge other than the EU standard one, it constitutes a special case for which the general provisions of the directive do not fit. Since 6% of the entire Polish railway transport performance in 2011 (54 billion tonne-kilometres) were transported on the LHS, the lack of support from the Members of the European Parliament shown today will seriously harm its performance and thus weaken the second largest rail freight market in Europe."@en1
